Does anyone on this forum really know anything about conference expansion?

The Big Ten isn't going to 16.

I think it really comes down to how much money those 2 playoff games can generate.

Because in 2013 when things begin to break, you will see two 16 team conferences that will have three in-conference playoff games. The B1G can forgo that money if they want.

Wow! We just got socked in the gut! Word from CUSA/MWC is that they are going forward with expansion and we are not now, nor in the immediate future, being considered as a partner.

Just like I said back in August CUSA is trying to create a national conference of leftovers from the Big 4 agreement. The number we are getting is 30 teams in this sub-league. But that would seem to have to actually be 32.
